  1. Last time I checked the “House/Temple of God” was NOT the 4-walls of any building; therefore, a virtual service would suffice. But this is what you get with these so-called evangelicals, religious zealots and bigots, #religioustaliban

  2. 3:05 He said “ the people who have the virus don’t even know they have it and recover” .
    How about those people who have the virus and spread the virus to others and don’t even know it.

    This guy is a disgrace. A fake pastor

    1. @Xeno Phon I agree, it is time to put the fairy-tales away and grow up as a species. The very fact that in 2020 we still have people that believe in a magic sky fairy or that the earth is flat is completely perplexing to me..

  3. “We were supposed to be at a million deaths”… yes, that’s if no one acted — like you aren’t acting. This pastor is mentally ill.

    1. He calls the congregation, “my [his] people” That’s a nice little slip of the tongue. And you would do well to listen to the words used when an unguarded tongue speaks.

      They are not, “my [his] people”, they are God’s. He is not their leader. God is their leader. He is not their voice of reason. God is their voice. This guy is as bad as that fucker Joel Olsteen.

      I would expect someone with the eye of ra to think between the words people want you to hear.

    2. @J I the notion that someone has to go to church to get close to God. The Bible says if you worship me in secrecy I will bless you in the

    1. You mean like people that call their self Christians that have compromised mental capacity can’t think for themselves. Coronavirus is going to kill all of those brainwashed people with compromised mental capabilities of Their Own

    1. That’s why he won’t do online less dontations. Greed is all he is thinking about $$$$. Profit over life. He should be ashamed. Even the Pope is doing live stream

    2. Of course he is it’s about the money because his bible also says to obey the laws that govern the land

    3. cole eason
      Need to relax bro leave the Bible out of it people these days use it for their own use
      Blasphemous people

    4. Most people mail in their donations,it is tax deductible!
      What do you support with your money! It’s better than supporting your drug dealer!

    1. Someone will end up trying to shoot that man for doing this. It’s getting bad out here. People have had enough of these morons not listening .

  4. When did God tell you this, just speak the truth you need that collection money. Easter is the biggest pay day for these churches.

    1. @A. Smith don’t they pass the basket/bucket around? This is how he is making his money. Come on,dude.

    2. Call pastor on TV to criticise him. Then label him as hungry for TRP.

      Nice slick tactic. You are pretty degenerate.

    3. @Josh C It is funny because it is CNN who wants to make money off the pastor. But in liberals fairy tale land, it is the pastor who is getting the money.
      No wonder we need to keep them away from handling our finances

  5. “We believe the science, however …”
    “The greatest nation on Earth”
    Over confident and under educated, as usual.

    1. No, just greedy…
      He knows whats wrong, but still has a nice Louisiana mansion that needs to be paid for.
      Collection plates dont fill themselves.

  6. I literally had a pastor cuss me and my employer for his internet service being down before a church service recently. He said, and I quote “HOW they gone pay their TITHINGS???”
    The fact that was the first thing he stated says it all.

  7. The Lord did not command us to follow some other lemmings off a cliff, dimwit. What you are doing is sinful pride.

    1. Jim Jones ran a cult for 10 plus years… He also made people drink poison! You people are remedial do you not understand the Constitution? It clearly says he and people like him can practice their religion without persecution from Government or Media! The guy doing the reporting supported by the 1st amendment is the biggest hypocrite along with his news agency! Go get your alcohol and non essential needs while putting people at risk! Your a hypocrite! All of you in this comment section that can’t understand why these people should be allowed to practice their religion are hypocrites!
